"Where better to care for the soul than in the details of our daily lives?....The soul has an absolute, unforgiving need for regular excursions into enchantment. It requires them like the body needs food and the mind needs thought... An enchanted world is one that speaks to the soul, to the mysterious depths of the heart and imagination where we find value, love and union with the world around us. As mystics of many religions have taught, that sense of rapturous union can give a sense of fulfillment that makes life purposeful and vibrant."
~ Thomas Moore.

I haven't been blogging due to personal issues, and yet another soul searching phase for understanding life and not just living a life of ''coping" or ''escapism''. I seek deeper answers and understanding, so I may both live in peace within my own skin and at the same time effect some positive changes for others who also live on this planet, especially those who suffer. And I'm not just talking about giving something away, or feeding someone. There is an old proverb that says, "feed someone fish for a day they eat for a day, but teach someone how to fish and they eat for a lifetime." I'm after life changing effects. I am working on myself so I may teach others to fish.

But there is a post that came in from one of the blogs I follow from the woman I buy my heirloom seeds from, and her passion for life and for inherent and natural birthrights, and her righteous passion for speaking out when those are being silently and covertly stripped away......as in some places where one cannot grow vegetablesin the front yards.....yes, sounds insane, but it is true, and more than insane it is only the tip of the iceburg......and so I received a post from her and I am reposing it here for others to read, because there does come a time, when even the most complacent, head in the sand type of people must come out for air and realizing they are personally being acosted by such nefarious behind the scenes moves to strip us of our natural rights......we must all stand up together and say NO.

Find someone who traces the lines in your hands just to feel close to you, and someone who believes the ocean is trapped in your eyes. Find someone who loves the bones in your body and loves the skin that you live in. Find someone who will help you love yourself. ~ (k.b.g)
